So I get the head off using the Rope Trick and I'm cleaning the old
gasket off of it last night and I notice this nifty chunk missing out
of the exhaust valve in the #6 chamber. Doh! as Homer would say. My
compression leak wasn't the head gasket after all and now I'm looking
at a head job :-(.
I was wondering, is this something that "just happens" like s**t
happens, or could I have done something to bring this on? As
background, I keep the valves well adjusted, I use high enough octane
gas and I've never revved this engine over 4,500 rpm. Any comments?
Thanks,
Jim
